We stayed at this hotel for two nights over the New Year's from 2013 to 2014 we found this hotel to be architecturally interesting it had a very nice history to it in terms of converting the building from an old warehouse into a hotel We had what they called the suite which was I would say a good room the one downside was that it was a room next up we were staying with the group of individuals that comprised three separate rooms and when we booked we clearly reserved our suite and then they placed someone else from our group in that room when we brought it to the hotel's attention they didn't address it appropriately and acted like they were doing us a favor when we went to the management to straighten it out just by giving us the room that we paid for and reserved Also did not disclose that there was going to be an extensive party with music DJs mobile bars and restrictions on entrance to the hotel that New Year's Eve the fact that they had a party wasn't so much of a concern but that the party itself wasn't restricted to the lobby area. The partygoers were obviously intoxicated which is to be expected on New Year's Eve but the party went all throughout the hotel stairways and on multiple floors without really any sort of management of the crowd restricting it to hotel guests I would probably stay here again if I dint have a choice but there are other options out there, sure the problem may be only limited to these kinds of special occasions all in all I wasn't impressed with the customer service and I've had way better experiences at other hotels including any Westin many hotels in Las Vegas as well as Kimpton In conclusion this is not probably a place I'll repeat read more

Aloft is all about expectations. I've stayed at multiple other Aloft locations in the US and can summarize their hotel theme as a place where you don't have to spend every dollar in your Wallet to feel like you're staying somewhere nice and trendy. If you are a serious details person when it comes to your hotel stays, this will not be the place for you. Aloft provides folks a budget friendly hotel that holds all the hip aesthetic look of something much more expensive. They save money wherever they can in other corners though and it just comes down to what you're focused on when you stay at a hotel. For us, we were looking for a bed and a nice safe feeling hotel which Aloft achieved very easily. What was a surprise was, for the same price of a Hilton Express room, you can get a 3 room suite at Aloft. Pretty neat! There isn't room service or many other hand and foot service options, but the lobby does offer sandwiches sodas, etc. as well as a full bar open until 2am. Beyond that, they have a small spa, pool and workout facility as well as multiple business centers for those needing a printer or desk space to grind out some work. Definitely worth the money and much better than other options within the same price range in most cases. read more

I stayed here during my visit to Dallas for the World Series. Upon check-in, I was greeted by Josh. Josh was professional, friendly, and provided great customer service. The hotel was very nice and upholds its name Aloft because you really feel like you're staying in a loft. The room was clean and spacious. The bed was so comfortable as well as the bedding. One thing I also liked is how the hotel is doing their part during the pandemic which is enforcing masks and keeping cleanliness a high priority. I felt very safe staying there. Thank you, Aloft! read more

Great hotel in downtown Dallas. Industrial motif, chic, jovial vibe. Staff is very polite. read more

This is a great hotel! I had never stayed in an Aloft hotel before and was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. It was very clean, the staff were great and all wore masks and the room was great. My dog also loved it! It is in a great area in downtown Dallas that has lots of grass across the street to take my dog. I would definitely stay here again! read more

LOVED MY STAY HERE! stayed for 4 days here - there i alot to do in Dallas. $10 for all day and night parking. Great views out the windows. Rooms are a great size for a couple. Lobby had a pool table and a full bar for visitors, everything was clean. Loved the Look and feel of the Hotel. The pool is small but does it's job to the max. They also have a lounge area pool side. read more

Underwhelmed. They lost my reservation which is fine but don't just stand there telling me you can't find it, let's FIX IT? very strange Internet didn't work in the room, the food st the bar was atrocious- thought I was going to get sick from the fish, if you could even call it that. Added a celery and carrot salad to my meal and it was straight up ranch soup with bits of carrots and celery. Repulsive. Room was weird hated the lighting and had this weird stage thing that the tv was on. I won't be back read more

I think that the most important part about staying at the Aloft is setting your expectations. It's a no-frills hotel, which means that yes, the lack of a hotel restaurant, no room service, and minimal amenities may be a turnaway for some, but it comes at a great price. I stayed here for a quick 24-hour business trip and it was super easy. The staff were so nice and fantastic, the room was quiet, and the bed was comfortable and clean. And also, there were great coffee/food choices within 10 minutes walking distance (I highly recommend Otto's). There's a business center for printing documents, as well as tons of seating in the lobby bar and the lobby itself. A few of us ordered Domino's pizza to be delivered to the lobby, and nobody batted an eye. read more

It was just okay. There was rust in the shower, the shower seal was broken, and there was a live ladybug on the light in the bathroom. read more

Normally a huge aloft fan ... this one at this moment on time is Sketchy AF. In one night my friend and I - there with our kids - saw a girl on girl bar brawl with boobs flashing and weave ripped off. We were offered cocaine by a couple that resides permanently in the hotel. The smell of weed permeated our floor. And, not even goi G to mention the WORST thing. 2 stars for location, decor, ambiance and huge room and way cheaper than the Omni.. Cleanliness was subpar too. read more

Niiiice went to the black out party and it is a nice set up ! 2 different rooms one had R&B cuts and the other room had jazz grown folks event loved it ! read more

Not my style of hotel, urban not so chic, concrete walls, basic food in the restaurant. BUT its right across from the Convention Center so A-OK. read more

Due to travel restrictions associated with COVID my son and his friend are driving cross country from WA to GA and one of the overnight stops happen to occur in Dallas TX. I have made reservation at Aloft paying with my card, but upon check in, hotel did not allow boys to stay denying lodging due to them not being 21. That's very upsetting given the fact that these two kids have already stayed twice at other states and hotel chains with no issues and at the time of check in had a 12 hour drive! Age discrimination at Aloft is definitely a thing although they had no issues taking my money. Do not recommend. read more

Came here to Aloft downtown Dallas, TX as part of a business meeting group booked in advance. This one was $167/night, which seems on the higher priced end for the available other hotels within short walking distance. Interesting experience and will choose to make another choice next time around. This place is decorated in industrial pop art, and is trying to emit a trendy-hipster-modern and connectivity- vibe. There is casual furniture and an open bar in the lobby area, and a pool table. Definitely a refurbished downtown industrial warehouse, complete with noisy elevators that clack on well into the night. Staff is friendly but more interested in entertaining themselves with their co-workers. Found them to be aloof...on day 1 the elevator to our floor was stuck and the alarm was sounding for over 30 minutes...and they had no clue at the front desk. The food bar area advertises a short menu selection, the cooks aren't familiar with; and during seasonal rainstorm with hail, lightning and tornado warning... the front desk had no umbrellas at all for guests to use...and no offer of local shuttle service. Location is good, right across from convention center and scenic park with the livestock cowboy sculptures. Parking IS NOT FREE - another $14/night for that. read more

When likening Starwood properties to the Spice Girls, it kinda goes like this: ~St Regis: Posh Spice ~W: Ginger or "Sexy" Spice ~Westin: Sporty Spice ~Sheraton: Baby Spice (I find myself wondering a. who even stays at the Sheraton anymore? and b. did anyone actually ever see Baby Spice *do* anything besides have that dumb hairdo and wear silly outfits? Yeah, the Sheraton. I'll give her the Sheraton). ~Aloft: Scary Spice (did anyone else NOT find Scary Spice scary? But for the point of this review, it holds true). Why scary? Well, I hate starting this review on a negative, but WTH was UP with that stench of dead rodent that permeated the entire 8th floor? I thought it was my imagination because I'm a bit obsessed with my fear of rodents, but one morning I met up with some biz dude at the elevator and he said something to the effect of, "Is it just me, or does it smell like something DIED up in here?" (Ok, the "up in here" part is all me). C'mon, Aloft, I get that you renovated a decrepit old loft but I don't want *that* much of an authentic experience. Be like the Westin and pump in some fragrance or something. Other than that (and I'm sorry, but at about 150 bucks a night, that's pretty huge), I dig the concept of Aloft's tragically hip-yet-utilitarian vibe, but it's not really the property for me if, like another reviewer points out, I'm traveling for work and not fun. I need those amenities and conveniences (maybe I'm just old and crochety) like room service and/or decent hotel restaurant (no, I'm not going to grab a packaged meal in the lobby, I'm just not). I also need to be close to places where I can get my blessed iced espresso in the morning and this hotel required me to walk a half a mile to find a place... that's located conveniently in another hotel that I plan to stay in next time I'm in town, truth be told. If the rate were cheaper, say, a hundred or so a night, I'd say Aloft is worth it. I think it's bizarre that on a weeknight in Dallas in *August* when nothing seemed to be going on, that this hotel was $147. But on to the details... The best in my room was the wall of windows looking out onto, well, a parking lot, but if I looked straight ahead or up, it was pretty fabulous. I kept the curtains open all night so that I could wake up to the cityscape and it was a nice departure from the typical feeling of sleeping in a dark cave (and waking up in stark terror wondering where the hell I am) when staying in hotels! The room was a decent size and well-appointed. I'm a fan of these Bliss products (sea) more so than the W's lemon. I also prefer the canisters on the wall to individual tiny bottles which seem so wasteful (and there's never enough shower gel). I loved the openness of the lobby which reminded me a lot of a gorgeous modern industrial loft you'd find in DUMBO, Brooklyn, though I found the bar and lounge area too brightly lit and not especially inviting, so I didn't indulge. Big pluses for the well-equipped gym and urban chic pool area. Actually, not that I think back to my original Spice Girls metaphor and consider the style and vibe of the property, Aloft really *is* Scary Spice... read more

These days, anything associated with a warehouse is usually on-trend and involves a long line with a guest list closely guarded by a hard-nosed bouncer. Fortunately, the latter doesn't apply to Aloft Dallas Downtown - conversely, 'entry' starts at only $124/night and anyone is welcome! Yep, the rumors are true... this former warehouse is filled with huge, high-ceilinged loft-like rooms for $124/night and up depending on availability and dates. And that money goes a long way, too - from the super stylish lobby bar complete with pool table to the polished concrete floors to the oversized rooms, this particular Aloft is a looker who also knows how to have a good time. Rooms come equipped with complimentary wi-fi, two free bottles of water, Bliss toiletries and a bed just as comfortable as the one you'll find at big sis' place, the W. I'm a sucker for design-forward, open spaces and the Aloft Dallas is a breath of fresh air in the lower-budget-yet-still-hip hotel segment. I should make mention that customer service is always on-point here... I appreciated the room upgrade (wow!) (sign up for the Starwood Preferred Guest program if you haven't already!) and $10 parking/day in the adjacent lot with in/out privileges is a steal. Already looking forward to booking my third stay in June! read more

***Treated like a prisoner*** When we arrives they told us we had to wear a wrist band in order to come in after 7pm. So much for bringing a special guest back. Additionally, alcohol was banned, without any previous warning. Aside from these absurd rules, the hotel itself is not very nice. You will do better at any other hotel in downtown. read more

Aloft by Marriott Dallas Downtown - No alcohol allowed. - Hotels Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I have very mixed feelings about aloft hotel in downtown Dallas. Most people from my company stayed here, while we were in town for a tradeshow. You can't get much closer to the convention center (besides the Omni hotel, which had already been booked solid). So, we ended up at the aloft. My likes: - I did like the layout of the room and the decor. It's an acquired taste and many other people who stayed there with me did not care for the modern, NY-Loft-like design. Some rooms don't have dressers, but only open shelves... again, an acquired taste - Bathroom was super-cool! Loved the stand-up shower only. Seriously, who takes baths at a hotel anyway? Showerhead was great - Free wifi (I'm always amazed when I find hotels that still charge for wifi this day and age) - Bed was very comfy - Room was clean and smelled fresh My dislikes: - No real concierge desk or bell hop. I have back problems and am unable to lift anything. So, I needed help with a lot of things, like luggage or transporting various supplies for our tradeshow. Multiple times I was told that there was nobody who could help me. Totally unacceptable in my eyes - No on-site restaurant!! This was probably my biggest gripe with aloft. If you work 12 hour days at a trade show, the last thing you typically want to do is go hunting for a restaurant. A lot of times, you end up having to do work and if you're feet are sore by the end of the day, all you want to do is order some room service and pass out! They do have this little snack area, but I was not about to eat a Marie Calender frozen dish for dinner, when I haven't eaten all day!! - No business center or access to printer. I had to use the front desk printers to get some items printed. I think, if they want to continue to do well, they need to cater a bit more to the business traveler, considering their closeness to the convention center. Bottom line: this place is probably great, if you're travelling for fun, but it's completely unsuitable for people staying in Dallas for business. read more

First impressions go a long way. Arriving at Aloft Downtown feels perky and fun. You walk up to the little flat touch-screen terminal to start your check-in. It's all automated. You don't have to deal with people behind a desk. You can even change your room if you wish. Well... you can change your Floor. I chose to upgrade from the 2nd Floor to the 5th, thinking I would get a slightly better view. The computer is telling me "Amazing A-Go-Go Views - 5th Floor." I'm feeling positive about this. Let me stop for a second. Remember a while back I said you didn't have to deal with people behind a desk? That right there is part of the problem with Aloft. You aren't greeted when you come through the door. You aren't offered any assistance. You have to find your own way around the place. It's very hands-off. Don't get me wrong. There are people working here. And they will answer your questions should you initiate an interaction -- even nicely. But no one says "Welcome!" It's less than I expect. They have no information about DART rail, no information about local attractions. Nothing. Aloft sits in a reclaimed building in Downtown Dallas. They've built their rooms around a loft-style design. Tall, unfinished ceilings, open plan and industrial hallways. We walk into our room and see a massive curtain with a flat-screen TV suspended in the middle. I'm excited to see this "Amazing A-Go-Go View", so promptly find the mechanism to open the curtain. The curtain starts to reveal the window. 6 inches... 12 inches... 18 inches... 24 inches... and then... brick... brick... brick... brick.... You get the idea. We have a 30 foot curtain that opens to reveal a 2 foot wide opening of 80 year old, single pane window. I can hear the transients shuffling across the parking lot 5 stories down. My A-Go-Go view of asphalt and multistory car parks leaves much to be desired. (when I stand close enough to the corner to be able to see outside.) This hotel is brand new. You can still smell the glue off-gassing from the carpets and walls. We are likely the first people to actually sleep in this bed. So maybe there are still some kinks to work out. But my first impression is that Aloft (a brainchild from the same people, apparently, that brought you W) is a gimmick disguised as trendy. But then, it's just a hotel. What do you really need? I'm editing this review slightly because we were moved to a larger room with great views of Reunion Tower and the convention center. I'm realizing that the vibe of ALL of Downtown Dallas is a do-it-yourself mentality. So maybe the hotel is just fitting in. read more

I was a little weirded out when I first walked into aLoft since I didn't know what to expect. I saw what appeared to be unfinished floors and roof but then I realized that is their thing. Ultra-hip, modern, industrial type loft setting. I get it. The desk staff was awesome and allowed us to check in early even though we got there around 1pm. While the BF was checking in, I explored the lobby area. The bar looked cool although it didn't open until 5pm for happy hour (and they have specials from 5-7). Hey, it is 5pm somewhere aLoft!! A few TVs were spread out and they were playing the football games of the day. A pool table was available if you wanted to play. Also a little area that had snacks to go....not to mention little "packs" of things in case you forgot them. Most interesting were the packs for an injury (bandaids, etc.) and the one that included condoms. Hey, they are prepared. The items didn't seem to be TOO marked up either....although I think buying that condom pack from the guy that checked you in and said "y'all aren't planning on having a party up there are you?" might have been awkward!! The elevator is easy to find and takes you up to your room quickly. However, when you step off the elevator you are going to have to get your bearings to figure out which way to go to get to your room. But once you get in you will like it! The room was huge - table and chair when you first walk in, two beds across from a flat screen TV and shelving, a desk, huge floor to ceiling windows across the entire back wall, a long skinny bathroom sink area with a closet for your clothes, and then a small toilet/shower area that closes off with a sliding door for some privacy. Even though our windows overlooked a parking lot they made the room so bright and festive. And the beds were super comfy too - no complaints at all. I overall enjoyed my stay at aLoft - quite the different feel from my usual Hampton Inns and Embassy Suites. Less freebies maybe but more ambiance. read more

The Aloft promises free internet. Trouble is, they don't tell you that you have to pray that it will work. When I checked in and tried the ethernet, it was dead. The wireless was only connecting through my cell phone but not through my laptop. After I called an unnamed company at 800-686-7450 and spent a fruitless half hour on the phone with them, they told me they would refer my ticket to "tier 3" support. The day after, the wireless was working intermittently. The ethernet was still dead. The unnamed company was not reponding to calls. The third day, I called again and they told me that there was nothing they could do from there. I then complained to the hotel's reception but they only made excuses and said "we have technical support working on it". Why does it have to be so damn hard to get the internet working? I am here to do work, not to watch YouTube. If you need to do anything serious during your stay in Dallas, I would avoid the Aloft. read more

Not sure when I'm going back to Dallas, but I'm staying here the next time. Not sure where I'm going next in my travels, but I'll definitely be looking at Aloft first after this visit. The character is simply incredible. Converted warehouse, with plenty of signs that it used to be a warehouse -- from the woodbeam ceilings in the rooms to the industrial windows to the brickwork in the lobby. This building could have easily been condemned before this place opened; it's now truly incredible. Nice pool outside -- a little small, but come on, it's a hotel in downtown Dallas. It's just awesome that they have one. The bar (W XYZ) is pretty sweet -- drinks aren't overpriced, and there's even a pool table for folks who just want to hang out. Can't speak to the room rate, since mine was promotional -- but for the money, it was well worth it. Front desk folks were incredibly helpful, answering my questions about everything from nearby attractions to if they had packing tape and a Sharpie for me to use (so I could ship Ikea goodies to myself). The hotel is in the middle of downtown; $10 in/out privileges for driving. There's not really public transit "nearby", so budget that in when you stay here. But, yeah. WELL worth it. read more

Stayed here during a week-long business trip where I was officing out of the Uptown area, and was pretty unimpressed and sometimes very ticked off. I had flown in and gotten a ride to the hotel because I was informed by the person who helped with the reservation that they have a shuttle for anywhere within 5 miles. Well, they might, but I never took it because first of all it's not an everyday thing - it's whenever "the shuttle guy" shows up, which on this particular week I was told was only Wed/Thu, since I had let them know that I didn't have a vehicle and would need it this week. So, Wednesday morning I ask at the front desk for a ride with the shuttle and they inform me that "oh he won't be here until later". "Later" turned out to be 3pm. The alternative I was given was one of the cabs they have on standby, on my own dime of course. The major shuttle annoyance combined with a bunch of other minor annoyances - sink didn't drain, internet often didn't work, TV remote was spotty, AC vent pointed into the shower, to make it an overall very unsatisfactory stay. The positives are: the bed was quite nice, the cable selection was good, and the gym was actually very good. read more

This is our Hotel any time we stop in Dallas. The staff has always been very good to us and the rooms have always been generously sized (very important for a family). the pool is fun, but I'd appreciate it if people didn't throw their cig butts down on the ground out there, and if the staff could go clean them up from time to time. it's a fun hotel with a great location (bonus point for the fact that we were able to walk to the Yelp Wanderlust party from Aloftl) read more

I'm a sucker for well-thought-out comfort-modern design. Aloft had me from the start on that front. Pretty cool-looking joint. I'm also a sucker for a little bit of luxury. Aloft isn't exactly the Ritz-Carlton (ha! like I've ever been in a Ritz!), but it's definitely a leap up from a Days Inn (ha! like I've ever stayed in a Days Inn ... in downtown Dallas), and that's enough to make me happy! I could do without the "aloha" every time you walk past the desk, but other than the so-new-you're-afraid-to-break-everything feeling, this is a nice space. We played a couple games of pool on the table downstairs and despite being pretty much the only ones around (no one at the bar or small cafe(teria?) area, it was easy to relax. Our room had a nice shower, a comfy bed and a big ol' TV we couldn't quite figure out how to turn on in one simple move but eventually did work. It was super quiet until 8:30 a.m. when a ROARING JACKHAMMER started four stories below us in the parking lot. Not that I'd expect that to be a regular occurrence, but for people who'd been up fairly late, it was jarring and obnoxious! read more

The absolute worst customer service that I have ever experienced at a hotel. I was trying to add an extra day to my reservation on a Saturday afternoon (for which the hotel had rooms available). The woman at the front desk was rude and dressed inappropriately to be working at the front desk of a hotel. I was told that she was unable to adjust reservations and I had to wait until the sales office opened on Monday. Her attitude right out of the gate was confrontational, like ... why are you bothering me. Also the hotel is infested with ants. One of my colleagues had thousands of ants crawling all over his cloths, desk and floor and when he asked the hotel to address the problem they gave him attitude too. The beds are firm and uncomfortable, it felt like I was sleeping on the floor. The blankets are so thin you can practically see through them. Many of the rome have no dresser, or drawers of any kind, and the closet consists of a pull down bar with 4 coat hangers, so don't bring a lot of cloths that need to be hung. the decor and lobby areas are funky and nicely decorated, its too bad all of that is overshadowed by the lack of customer service. read more

Not bad for an inexpensive room and one of the nicer aloft locations I've stayed at. Pros: - inexpensive - front desk check in team was super nice - very spacious room - very hip decor - I didn't hang out in the lounge, but walked through it and it seemed very nice, billiard table etc Cons : - room had a lot of concrete columns, which made it way too cold. - thermostat didn't work that well. I had to crank the heat to get it even marginally warmer. read more

When comparing this to other Alofts, it ranks horrendously. I asked for a wine opener and they didn't even have those available for guests, saying that the bartenders take those home. After calling several times, they just so happened to find me a wine opener. If you call room service, they don't even say goodbye. They just hang up! They are very pet friendly and I highly recommend aloft typically. read more

This was a pretty neat hotel architecturally, but comfort wise it was no better than a Holiday Inn. We stayed in a King bed and this is the first time I've ever had trouble sleeping at a hotel due to bed comfort. It was as hard as a rock! Also, they only had a shampoo/conditioner all-in-one dispenser, which isn't a big deal but paying that much to stay at a hotel for a weekend, I kind of expect little S&C bottles at the least (as a female with long hair, I can't use the all-in-one stuff anyways). The staff was very friendly though, and the place had a cool vibe, I just don't think it's worth the price. The W was a much better stay in my opinion. read more

aLoft continues to impress. Best location to conference center, if you're needing that and also within walking distance to Dealey Plaza. Also convenient to I-30/35 and Fuel City Tacos :) As a gold, I was prebooked into a king suite on a rewards stay (4k points... WELL worth it!). Great sleeping bed, two rocker kinda chairs, and a sofa under the tv. Seriously... what's the deal with the benches and sofas being under the tv?!? After being up since 4:30am EDT and arriving at 11pm CDT, I was very happy about this! Decent amount of clientele out in the lobby area on a Thursday night. I believe happy hour is 5-7? The only issue I've had is the a/c vents having lots of condensation and leaking onto the floor. Unlike other aLofts, however, you cannot hear the a/c running. Anyway, it's well worth a stay, especially as a Cat 2 SPG hotel. quick edit!: upon checkout, i asked if they sold gum or mints at their little re:fuel station or whatever it's called. they did not, and an employee went to the back and brought me out a brand new, full pack of Eclipse Polar Ice gum. Gum was the one thing I left at home and just kept forgetting to buy when out. It's small things like this that keep customers coming back. If/when I return to Dallas, aLoft will be at the top of my list. read more

This is an amazing hotel for the location and atmosphere! However, I can't give more than 3 stars because of all the random fees they tack onto your bill. I booked the room directly from the website for $138 (Monday night, government discount) but it ended up being about ~$180 after the most random taxes and parking ($14/day). I mean, if they were just up front about everything, I would still pay the $180 and give a solid 4 stars. I guess that's the marketing game though to lure people in then punch them in the gut on their way out. My room was modern, clean, comfortable. I do recommend this hotel because it's downtown and nice but just beware of the fees! read more

Super awesome vibe! The front desk staff were very nice and held our bags on checkout day while we explored the city before leaving for the airport. The room was nice and offered all the basic amenities you would need. The view from the 8th floor was gorgeous. I would definitely stay here again. read more

Aloft by Marriott Dallas Downtown - Lobby - Hotels Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I just checked out of this hotel after spending time downtown attending a conference. The hotel decor is great and the location was very convenient. Downside for me was the room. The temperature of the room at check in was very hot. Ended up with an accessible room. The bathroom was completely with no shower door, not even a curtain separated the shower from the commode. Water went all over the floor even outside the "wet" area. There was no dresser or a real closet for clothes. Very poor design for business travelers. Self parking is convenient so I would not spend the extra for valet service. read more

This hotel is like a huge block of delicious looking chocolate! It looks good, seems like a good idea at the time but after you've had the whole lot, you realize it probably wasn't the best idea after all. PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES TAKE NOTE HERE! This hotel has a pet policy. Now most hotels have rooms set aside specifically for this reason. Not this one. In fact I think they would allow a pet Buffalo in this place! People can have dogs and cats in any room of this hotel which just seems weird anyway! This is not the kind of hotel you would take animals to so what's wrong with people?! Especially to the @#$% who had the HUGE dog in the foyer/bar area on a 30ft leash that came barreling around the corner trying to eat my breakfast off the table after smelling my revolting powdered eggs from the kitchen/cafe thing downstairs. Ohhhhh.... don't eat their "cooked" breakfasts! Almost forgot to mention that. Apparently dogs love it though... not surprising... tasted like dog food. Anyhow I digress. I woke up the first morning with my sinuses all stuffed up. Second morning; same thing except worse with itchy eyes. That's when I realized a cat must have stayed in the room. On questioning the front desk about animals in their hotel they were all too happy to say we could bring a cat and have it anywhere in the hotel. :-/ The hotel is a very modern, funky kinda thing. I like it from that perspective and the rooms were nicely designed. But while it looks good, the beds were really uncomfortable. The location is pretty good and the parking is OK too albeit ~$10/day from memory. Cheaper than the $20-$25 other hotels like to charge though. Anyhow, that's my story. Hope it helps! Have fun out there! read more

Pros: Great location for the convention center and downtown -- during the day. Free parking and wifi. Lots of cable channels. New and modern. Savvy suite is huge. Bed is pretty comfortable, shower is nice. We got a great deal on the room. Cons: Not the greatest location at night - but that's downtown. Poor lighting, esp. in the sitting room of the suite - almost unusable at night. Slight smell to the hotel. Long wait to check in the evening. Pretty busy lobby/bar area on weekend nights (but didn't hear any noise in room). Loft style; spacious, but not luxe. (Probably a 3.5 star is best rating - if you get a good price, it's a great stay.

I know it is supposed to be hip but it reminds me of my high school with the bare concrete walls and plastic chairs. This is not a luxury hotel, not even on the same level as a Hampton or Holiday. My room had a broken plumbing fixture in the shower and a phone that rang at random times, prank calling me in the night. The fitness center is top rate with 3treadmills, 3 elliptical, bikes and free weights. The room was quiet enough and the location is good. I found the staff to be disinterested, though I believe we bring our own attitude and mine was a bit off during this trip. I was looking for that "welcome home" greeting you can get in the really good hotels. Instead of "OK, I hear your complaints now move along." I will not be staying with this brand again. read more

Aloft by Marriott Dallas Downtown - Lobby bar - Hotels Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We are regulars at the Aloft in Tucson and were pleasantly surprised with the Aloft Downtown Dallas. The decor is a modern industrial look, with exposed duct work and brick. This was a nice change from the more desert decor in the Tucson location. We were also happy to find that the Dallas location has suites (Tucson doesn't), so with our SPG Gold membership we were upgraded to a huge suite! I only wish that the bathroom was bigger and that our soap and lotions were replenished by house keeping. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and will continue to stay at Aloft. read more
